Kevin Durant Won’t Play Against The Thunder But Is ‘Very Likely’ To Return On Monday

Though it’s been three years since Kevin Durant spurned the Oklahoma City Thunder to join the Golden State Warriors, the beef between Durant and his former running mate Russell Westbrook always seems to pop up when the two suit up against one another. It’s made for some particularly spicy Thunder-Warriors matchups since then, and there’s always a buzz in the air whenever the two Western Conference foes are set to meet.

Unfortunately, that buzz is a bit muted ahead of their nationally televised battle Saturday night.

Update from Warriors shootaround: Kevin Durant will not play tonight in OKC.
